M-F
all 455 and 456 combos apart from
5H91 which forms 2H92- 10 car 707

Sat
all 455 and 456 combos
​
Sun
all 455 and 456 combos

Are the Shepperton services worked in isolated diagrams? I thought all inner suburbans via Wimbledon interworked with each other, and with the Windsor side inner suburbans because of the circulars via Strawberry Hill.

To my knowledge, at least on a Saturday (corrections welcome) the Shepperton diagrams are self contained as are the Waterloo to Waterloo via Strawberry Hill circulars.

Everything else (Chessington South, Woking, Guildford, Dorking, Hampton Court and any others I may have missed) via Wimbledon I believe intermingles though I'm sure someone more in the know can advise if there are patterns etc.

In response to the original question regarding stock on the line, the one and only time I've travelled it was back in about 2005 and I had a pair of 450's out via Kingston and back via Wimbledon, thereby getting both curves on to the branch in the book.

455 Diagrams tend to be:

Shepperton / Kingston Rounders tend to stay by themselves. Some Kingston rounders are diagrammed with 707s

One pattern tends to be
Up Guildford Via Cobham, Chessington South, Dorking, Hampton Court, Down Guildford via Epsom

Other Pattern
Up Guildford Via Epsom, Woking Bay, Down Via Cobham

This changes in the peaks though and they can wonder off the pattern.

The other evening i saw a 458/5 on a Shepperton Via Richmond Evening peak service.

But from Dec timetable as mentioned Shepperton should be wholly 707s.

As mentioned above, 707s from December (thought to be swapped with the units from the Kingston Loop).
During 2018, a pair of 458s were diagrammed on the Shepperton via Kingston circuit all day, And a pair of 450s worked the 1813 Sheppy via Richmond. (I hated dispatching the latter as this used to always be full and standing at Clapham, until it was sensibly rediagrammed with 455s)

The patterns change a bit in December, taking advatange of extra platforms available at Waterloo. Off Peak things will be split in to 5 seperate, shorter patterns.
Shepperton
Kingston Loop
Up Guildford via Epsom, Woking Bay, Down Guildford via Cobham
Up Guildford via Cobham, Chessington South, Down Guildford via Epsom
Dorking, Hampton Court

All still changes in the peaks, with turnaround times generally increasing at Waterloo.

I read a Twitter rumour that the 707 introduction for Shepperton has been delayed until 2020 - anyone know if this is right, and why?

They probably don't want to be introducing changes during the strike action?

Shepperton services don’t run through to Waterloo in the strike, just as a shuttle to Kingston so yes the revised workings won’t take place until after the strike in January
